A brilliant half-century by Prashant Chopra helped AG Punjab thrash AG Uttarakhand by 10 wickets and move into the semifinals of the North Zone IA&AD Cricket Tournament here on Friday.

The match was reduced to 15 overs a side after the play was delayed due to wet outfield.

Needing 81 runs for victory, Punjab rode on Chopra’s unbeaten 51-run knock to reach home without any trouble. Amit Prasher remained not out on 28.

In another match, Abhinav Bali steered Delhi Audit to an easy win against AG UP. 

Batting first, UP scored 66/5 in the allotted 10 overs, with Ankit Tiwari hitting a brisk 34.   

Delhi, in reply, scampered home in 7.3 overs. Bali remained unbeaten on 43. 

Meanwhile, AG Himachal Pradesh beat AG Jammu and Kashmir with a coin toss. 

In the semifinals, AG Punjab will face Himachal Pradesh, while AG Haryana will lock horns with Delhi Audit.
